Iowa 188 1926 (Iowa) (Road Sign) Pint Glass 16oz - Design Overview

This pint glass showcases a design that pays homage to the history of Iowa's roadways, specifically the now-defunct Iowa Highway 188. The artwork centers around a stylized representation of a classic Iowa road sign, evoking a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era of American travel.

Visual Elements and Representation

The design prominently features the number "188" in a bold, vintage typeface, echoing the signage used during the 1920s. The iconic shape of a road sign, likely a rectangular or shield design of the era, frames the numeral, immediately identifying the subject matter. The use of a muted color palette, possibly including shades of brown, white, and a touch of the era's favored blues or greens, reinforces the retro aesthetic and contributes to the visual authenticity of the design.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design encapsulates the historical significance of the road's designation in 1926, which represented an attempt to standardize road numbering systems nationwide. By visually referencing the road sign, the design celebrates the evolution of transportation infrastructure and the historical context of road systems in America. The visual elements serve as a reminder of a key moment in the history of Iowa's roads and how it became part of a larger national framework.

Clear 16 oz (β‰ˆ0.47 L) pint glasses made from solid glass with a heavy base for steady placement. Narrower at the bottom for an easier grip and balanced feel β€” durable, dishwasher-safe, and ideal for both serving and mixing.

These pints are crafted from 100% clear glass that showcases the drink inside β€” color, clarity and carbonation are all visible. A heavier, solid base reduces tipping and gives the glass a satisfying weight in the hand while the gently tapered body makes holding and carrying more comfortable.

Built to last, the construction resists chipping under normal use and is suitable for busy service environments as well as retail display. One-sided print work reads bright against the clear surface; the overall aesthetic is clean and modern.

  • Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and gloss.
  • Capacity: 16 oz (standard U.S. pint / β‰ˆ0.47 L).
  • Base: heavy solid glass base reduces tipping and improves balance.
  • Shape: narrower bottom for a comfortable grip and easier carrying.
  • Durability: dishwasher-safe and built for regular use.

Use these glasses for draft pours, mixed drinks, iced beverages and more. Their clear walls show off color and bubbles, which makes them a great choice for menus, tasting flights, and bars where presentation matters.

  1. Serving: ideal for beers, sodas, iced teas and cocktails served cold.
  2. Mixing: also works as a simple mixing glass for shaken or stirred cocktails in casual settings.
  3. Display: clean silhouette fits behind bars, on shelves, or on retail racks.

Quick tip: because the base is heavier, these glasses feel stable on trays and counters β€” handy when serving multiple drinks at once.

These glasses are dishwasher-safe; place them on the top rack and use a regular household cycle. For best longevity, avoid stacking them tightly and steer clear of high-heat commercial wash cycles when possible.

Hand wash with warm water and mild dish soap when you want to preserve maximum clarity and avoid sudden temperature shocks. Handle by the body, not just the rim, to reduce the chance of accidental chipping.
